Saw 'Signs' today. Not bad. I rather liked it, actually. It managed to revolve around religion (well, and that sci-fi alien stuff) without offending me. Probably because it was promoting faith in general, not so much belief in God X or Religion Y. Joaquin Phoenix: "You have to have faith in *something*." Okay. All right. I can accept that.
While we're on the subject, I'm developing a SERIOUS JoaquinPhoenixLust problem. First 'Quills,' now this... ::lusts after Joaquin Phoenix::
Switching gears entirely. Scott (a certain RL person) is a dumbass. He'll never read this or anything, but for the record -- Scott, you are a dumbass. Him (yesterday): "...but I didn't really like John Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction.'" Me: "Oooh, 'Pulp Fiction.' I never saw that. I should see that sometime." Him: "I can download it for you!" Me: "Um, that's okay. I don't feel an urgent need to watch it right away or anything."
Him (today): [whips out CD] "By the way, here." Me: "Ummm...." Him: "You asked me for it!" Me: "Ummm... welllll, no, I didn't. But thanks? I'll use my dad's DVD player..." Him: "No, it only works on computers." Me: "Oh. Okay." Him: "And it needs a [insert name of random system I know I don't have] to work, and it doesn't play on Macs." Me: "Then why'd you download it for me?" Him: "You asked!" Me: "Ummm...."
So I am now the owner of a downloaded copy of 'Pulp Fiction,' of questionable quality/origin, without the technological means to view it. Go me.
Have bits of possible Merry/Pippin fic bouncing around in my head. FPS. Interesting. Worth a shot? Maybe later.
Status of Fic From Heck: very much stuck at smut scene. Will probably be forced to cheat and skip around it. Bah. At least I amuse myself.
Dom: I think I should cry now.
kaydee: No. You can't cry.
Dom: Why not? I really need to burst into tears.
kaydee: No. You're supposed to be a Manly Man (TM). Manly Men don't spontaneously burst into tears unless someone is dying. You and yours are all healthy. No crying.
Dom: But Orli left me!
kaydee: So?
Dom: He slept with Lij!
kaydee: Deal with it.
Dom: I haven't had a sex scene!
kaydee: Ooh. Good point. Dom, meet Billy.
(Dom eyes Billy appreciatively. Billy looks nervous)
kaydee: Billy, comfort him.
Dom: So I can cry now?
kaydee: No!
Dom: Damn. (sidles up to Billy)
Billy: Uh, I don't know if this is a good idea.
(kaydee and Dom are shocked)
kaydee: But he's your best mate!
Dom: But I'm sexy!
Billy: But I'm in love with Liv!
(kaydee and Dom are repulsed)
kaydee: Nononono!
Dom: (pouts) What's Liv got that I don't have?
Billy: Um, breasts?
Dom: (looks thoughtful) Good point.
kaydee: NO! This is SLASH!
Dom: You did establish me as bi.
(kaydee smacks herself on the forehead)
Billy: Yeah, me too.
kaydee: I did NOT! Oh, bugger it. It doesn't matter. Comfort each other. And Billy, you're not allowed to tell anyone who you're in love with, got it?
Billy: But...
kaydee: D'you want to get laid or not?
Billy: Okay!
(silence. Billy and Dom stare at each other)
kaydee: Well? Smut scene?
Dom: Are you just gonna sit there and WATCH?
kaydee: Um, yes?
Dom: I don't like this.
(Elijah runs in, taps Billy on the shoulder, whispers something into his ear)
Billy: Oh, right. (to Dom) I'm s'posed to tell you that Lij is in love with you.
kaydee: Oh, fuck.
Dom: Really?
(Elijah beams at him)
kaydee: ARGH! (gives up, slams computer keyboard in frustration)

Date: 2002-08-10 07:43 am (UTC)That was very funny. Familiar, too, though my dialogues with the characters usually go something like:
Lydia: Hey, guys. Can we get to the sex scene already? Please please please?
Frodo: (looks shocked and horrified) Excuse me. No. We feel like sitting here being melodramatic and angsty.
Lydia: Hmmph. Hey. Sam. Don't you want to fuck him?
Sam: Good point. (tackles Frodo)
Lydia: Thank you.
and about Scott... yeah. I ran into him when I was on my way to buy the Faculty DVD, which of course prompted him to tell me that he would be happy to download it for me if I paid him five dollars.
Me: No thank you, Scott.
Scott: But it'll be really really good!
Me: No thank you, Scott.
Scott: Why do want to watch The Faculty, anyway?
Me: Because it has Elijah Wood in it and he's my baby and I love him eeee eeee squee.
Scott: Eww, that short guy from Lord of the Rings? He's so ugly he's practically deformed.
Me: (pounds a stake into Scott's heart)

And leave the readers sniffing in the end.
You can call it a quest of sorts, I guess ;) In other news: I can't wait to read your fic from hell. Orli and Lij and Dom and Billy... wee!
Oh, and yes... JoaquinPhoenixLust, oooh yes. He's the only reason why I have 'Gladiator' on tape. Mmm
